There are almost subliminally flashed images of male nudity: A several men reclining, an extreme frontal close-up of a man holding his penis sticking out of his jeans.

During a party sequence: A topless woman is shown holding her hands in front of her breasts. A kneeling man pulls another man's briefs down; the standing man covers himself with his hand. A man moons his friends at a party. A seated man fiddles with the fly of a standing man. A man has his penis pulled out of his jeans and is rubbing it against a woman's dress. Several men hold a man down across another man's lap while another man rubs his own penis against the restrained man's face; everyone seems to be enjoying all this. As the party turns rougher, a man is held down while his briefs are stripped off him; they pour mustard on his belly and rub it onto his testicles as he struggles; his penis can be glimpsed during the struggle. We see a man's bare butt red and striped as if from a whip as he struggles.

We see a biker from the back in full leather who appears to be urinating into his helmet. He turns and holds the helmet up as if in triumph.

A biker wiped out and actually died instantly from a broken neck in one sequence.

Although the soundtrack is entirely pop songs from the 1950s and 60s, some images might be considered profane. The biker iconography is juxtaposed with Christian symbols and events from the life of Christ, Nazi images, and skull and crossbone related images. All of these sets of images are extremely prominent throughout the film.

Cigarettes are lifted to almost iconic status by way at least two of the actors smoke. We see a picture of a yellow-haired skull smoking a cigarette labeled "youth." One actor snorts real methamphetamine.
